On the final day that MLB teams can tender contracts to eligible players, the Toronto Blue Jays made a decision on two their veterans.

Toronto declined to tender infielder Ryan Goins and right-handed pitcher Tom Koehler, meaning that the two will become free agents and are able to sign with any team in the league. Despite a possible return, the move signals the end of Goins' career with the team that drafted him in 2009.

Goins, 29, drove in 62 RBIs and recorded a .237 batting average for the Blue Jays last season. It was a career-high filled season that made a strong case for the Texas native to return for his sixth season, all with possessing one of the most inexpensive contracts on Toronto's roster.

In 2017, Goins earned $548,200 — the second-lowest amongst BLue Jays infielders. In contrast to the rest of the second basemen in the American League East, Goins' contract was the only one that averaged under $1 million.

Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman offered parting words for Goins, crediting him with the "best infield glove in all of baseball."

The 31-year-old made one start with the Blue Jays, but found a significant role in the team's bullpen. He appeared in 14 games as relief and posted a 2.65 earned run average. Unlike Goins, Koehler's contract calls for the Blue Jays to tap into their wallet much more during the 2017 offseason. Koehler earned $5.75 million last year as a result of the Marlins offering. He will now enter free agency as one of the marquee names that are available.
